Revised build, input welcome

Alright, I last posted here looking for advice on building a computer. I just got home about a week ago and I'm ready to buy, but before I buy I was hoping you guys could check out my new build. It was recommended by a buddy, but I kinda trust you guys here more than him. If you could give me any input, that would be appreciated.

Your revised build looks solid. Although, I do find it hard to justify 16gb of RAM. Especially without a specific purpose for the build. But, since it is so cheap. It is one of those "why not" situations.

Also, unsure how that PSU will go with SLI'd GTX680s and overclocked everything.

The HX850 will no doubt be enough for a single GTX680 as well as pair of 680's in SLI.

What are you using the computer for? If it's just gaming then you won't see any benefit from the more expensive 3770K or Asus Sabertooth mobo. In fact your original choice of the AsRock Extreme6 is slightly overkill too since you're only running one GPU.

If you get 16GB RAM then get a 2x8GB kit, they cost pretty much the same as 4x4GB and you have extra room for upgrade.

Spend the money you saved on the CPU and mobo on a better monitor, e.g. a 120Hz one or an IPS panel depending on your usage. You've put together a great build and it would be a shame to see it with a crappy 60Hz TN monitor.
